Fred Federici

74 Fidlas Avenue, Llanishen, Cardiff, CF14 ONZ

"We had Sacha to plaster the dilapidated kitchen of the house we bought. He did such a wonderful job that 6 months later, we have asked him to skim our front room, back room, and dining room, which he completed to excellent quality and with real value for money (also compared to Which recommended pricing) The finish of his plastering is superb, easy to decorate by professionals or dyi enthusiasts. And when Sacha starts his jobs, he is full of useful advice and suggestions to get the best results, which is one additional reasons why we had him back. When on the job, he did not stop until the job was done to his high standards and our full satisfaction, at the price agreed. Fully and wholeheartedly recommend his services."

Catherine Gillet

Abergavenny, Wales

Sacha was recommended to me by a friend as I needed part of a kitchen ceiling plastered as well as a hallway ceiling re plastered. I am very pleased with the end result. Sacha was efficient in terms of a breakdown of cost and time scales in which the work would be completed and his fee was very reasonable. The work is of an excellent standard... And the workman himself is easy on the eye!

James Maggs

"I had one wall skimmed in a house I recently purchased. Sacha was very personable and very efficient. There is an excellent finish to the wall and it has made our new home the perfect blank canvas to make it our own."

Daniel Hughes - Safe Install Electrical Solutions

Bridgend, Wales

As a self employed electrician I have experienced many sub standard plastering contractors, either with reliability issues and/or with the quality of their workmanship. I met Sacha during a house rewire in Dec 2012. Sacha is professional and is a very likeable person and a pleasure to work with. Sacha's workmanship is very good both in terms of the final finish and also in the proper preparation of the surfaces to ensure a job which will last. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sacha to friends and family as well as any future clients.

Tony Richards

Caerau, Cardiff

Booked Mr. Blake to plaster the whole of my kitchen. From the start the finish very professional! Absolutely excellent value for money! Ran into a few problems during the job because the walls were in a very bad condition which meant Mr. Blake had to do an additional two days work which he didn't actual charge me - a man of his word! Overall fantastic workmanship will certainly use Mr. Blake again in the near future as my girl friend now wants her walls done :-) All the best --Tony...

A French

Canton, Cardiff

Professional, courteous, considerate, clean, communicative, efficient and reliable are all justifiable terms to describe what turned out to be considerable work Sacha undertook in my bathroom. He is a craftsman who takes significant pride in his work and is conscientious with his pricing. The job kept growing as issues arose and resulted in rendering and plastering 4 internal walls and replacing a structural lintel.

19 November 2010

A Forse

Canton, Cardiff

Sacha made an invisible repair to my kitchen ceiling following a leak. He's blended the repair into the rest of the ceiling perfectly. Sacha returned my call almost immediately, quoted the same evening and managed to squeeze the job in before Christmas. He did an excellent job, left no mess and clearly takes a pride in his work. He followed it up with a phone call a few days later to check I was happy with the work done, which was a nice touch. I'll definitely use him for any future plastering and highly recommend him.

01 January 2011

Rachel Wilson-Dickson

Canton, Cardiff

Sacha fixed and plastered my bathroom ceiling which had a whopping great hole in it. Despite half of it falling down onto his head, he worked professionally and diligently and my new bathroom ceiling is BEAUTIFUL. Sacha takes his work really seriously and it shows in the end product. Despite being down to earth and well mannered, he's an artist as far as plastering is concerned and is definitely a perfectionist. It's really good to find a plasterer who works to such an incredibly high standard and yet gives an absolutely fair price, as I've had a few dodgy jobs done in the past. I will always use Blake Plastering from now on and would recommend them to anyone.

04 February 2015

Rhydian Ball

Cantreff Close, Thornhill, Cardiff, CF14 9HF

Would thoroughly recommend Sacha from Blake Plastering. Required my landing, stairwell and living room skimmed. The main wall in my living room was in a bad way with plaster off the wall and down to the render. Sacha quoted me a very reasonable price for the work required and even worked through the August Bank Holiday to complete the work. This required Sacha to let himself into my house and work unsupervised. The quality of the work was to an exceptional standard and my house was left in a very clean condition. Sacha takes great pride in the quality of his work and genuinely loves the art of plastering.

27 September 2011

Louise O'Rourke

Caradoc Close, St. Mellons CF3 OLQ

I contacted Sacha after having been let down by another plasterer at last minute. Sacha went out of his way to help me. Having spoken to him on Saturday he had arranged for my kitchen to be plastered on Monday! Ricky (the plasterer who did the work for me)did a great job on my walls which were originally in quite bad condition. I would definitely recommend Blake Plastering, Sacha is very reliable, professional and clearly passionate about plastering and ensures that a high quality job is carried out. Many Thanks! Louise

B Deng

Cyncoed, Cardiff

Very happy about Sacha's work. We needed to renovate a 1960s house. Sacha finished all his work -- from 'dot and dab'ing walls, to reboarding and skimming over ceilings -- in excellent quality. He also helped us to identify and rectify various issues of the house, and gave valuable advice on the renovation. We are particularly impressed by Sacha's knowledge about his trade as well as his pursuit of quality.

We've had our front room skimmed by sacha and were extremely happy with the way the work was carried out and the cleanliness of him, I couldnt recommend him enough to anyone who needs any plastering work done and a top bloke, thanks sacha!

07 April 2012

Mr Dan Jewson

Emerald Street, Cardiff, CF24 1QB

Sacha undertook the re rendering of the front of our house.
This was a pretty big job which required old render hacking back and then several layers of re rendering applied. From the moment I approached Sacha to get a quote it was clear he was very thorough and conscientious - keen to explain exactly what work would be required and explain matters in lay terms as necessary.
The job turned into a bigger task as work progressed, requiring additional pointing etc but Sacha kept us well informed throughout and up to speed with the additional costs. He is honest and trustworthy and I was happy to give him a key to the house so he could let himself in whilst I was out at work. Both he and Joe worked well and finished the work to a high standard. I would certainly recommend Sacha and Joe to friends and family and I would happily employ his services again."

27 November 2014

Mr Bryan Croud

Fairwater Grove East, Fairwater, Cardiff, CF5 4JU

Sacha was contracted to re-plaster all artex ceilings throughout the house. From the initial quote he was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible to fit in with my working patterns. All ceilings have been finished to a very high standard and I am very happy with the work done. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Blake Plastering. Thanks!!

04 November 2012

Mr Richard Lasbury

Fairwater, Cardiff

I contacted Blake Plastering for a quote to skim a stud wall. A reasonable price was agreed before the job commenced. Sacha arrived on time as promised. Carried out an excellent job - even though it wasn't as simple as first expected, this was due to the nature of the original wall construction. The work area was kept clean and tidy at all times. Sacha then ensured that I understood exactly how the wall should be prepared and painted once the plaster had dried. Overall a fantastic job carried out by a genuine tradesman. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Sacha in the future to carry out any further plastering. Thank you!

Sacha was professional from the moment I was in contact about a plastering work. Good time keeping in visiting to assess the work to be done. A mutually agreed appointment was made for the work to be carried out. Sacha was punctual and the work was done to 100% satisfaction, in a timely fashion.

Sacha skimmed my bedroom walls. He was very informative and helpful before arriving and on assessing the job explained everything that would be done. Sacha is very friendly and carried out the job in a timely and tidy fashion. Sacha loves his job and I am so pleased with the work; at last I’ve got walls to be proud of. I would definitely ask him to complete further work in the future. Thanks Sacha.

Mr James Williams

Saquib Zia

Harold Street, Broadway, Roath, Cardiff, CF24 1NZ

We had a great service and brilliant advice. Especially after being messed around by previous plasterer. Mr Blake not only finished the job nicely but also corrected the work of previous plasterer.
Would love to recommend Blake Plastering to anyone.

28 February 2013

Juila Toropoc

Hayes Building, Cardiff

We had quite a big hole in one of the hallway walls. As we are living in a rented property, it was very important to find somebody who could have made the wall look like new and in total harmony with the rest of the hallway. We found Sacha via the Internet and, after an initial quote, we decided to ask him to proceed with the repair. He conducted the repair in two sessions - the first one reserved to plastering and the second one a few days later reserved to painting. He did a fantastic job and the wall is now perfectly flat and smooth and, very important, the paint matches exactly the surrounding walls. He was also very tidy and clean, bringing his own plastic sheets to cover the floor and even hovering after himself, so there was nothing left for us to do once he had gone! We are definitely recommending Sacha for any type of plastering/repair that he is qualified to do, as he is prompt, trustworthy, meticulous and professional. We hope we will not need him in the near future, but just in case another plastering job will be required at our property, we will not hesitate to give him a call! . Julia & Andreas

Mary I Lace

Heath, Cardiff

Sacha did an excellent job taking out the rusted metal corner strips from the two uprights of a fireplace alcove, replacing them and plastering them in flush with the adjacent walls. His craftsman like approach was superb and he used his time most efficiently resulting in a really good competitive price. It is my pleasure to recommend him most highly.

13 February 2009

Gareth McCarthy

Heathmeed, Heath, Cardiff, CF14 3PJ

I used Blake Plastering to repair and skim a bathroom ceiling that was damaged and peeling. I agreed a very reasonable price with Sacha and he carried out the work promtly and to a very high standard. Due to his skilled workmanship and after following his advice on decoratating new plaster work, the result is excellent and makes a big difference to the bathroom. I will need further plastering in the future and will certainly use Blake Plastering again.

04 September 2014

David Dunstan

Heathwood Grove, Heath, Cardiff, Wales, UK

I had my kitchen ceiling boarded and skimmed and a large area of plaster on the landing replaced. Sacha provided a reliable, friendly and professional service and I was very pleased with the quality of the work carried out.

Huw Jones

Heol Chappell, Whitchurch, Cardiff, CF14 2DB

Sacha came to do a considerable amount of work in our new house, re-plastering the 3 bedrooms (whole rooms) and most of the Thick artex ceilings that we had throughout the house, and did this to a great standard. Towards the end, some artex was still showing through on our kitchen ceiling. I called him to say that we were worried about painting this with some artex pattern still showing through. Sacha came within a couple of days to completely replaster the ceiling to put it right-and free of charge. We were impressed with this reaction and the customer service involved. Sacha is knowledgable and passionate about plastering and takes pride in his work and has done work to a great finish.

Jacqui Moyle

Ilton Road, Penylan, Cardiff, CF23 5DN

Sacha plastered over my back bedroom ceiling which had been badly artexed in a thick uneven pattern. I am delighted with the end result, which is completely flat and smooth. To look at it you would never believe it was artexed previously. Sacha is reliable and punctual and a good worker. I wouldn't hesitate to have him work for me again in the future.

08 October 2015

Craig & Racheal McCormac

Rob Attridge

Llanfair Road, Pontcanna, Cardiff, CF11 1BQ

Sacha plastered the walls & ceiling of our main bedroom. He was extremely trustworthy (we were out the majority of the time), he sets himself very high standards of work and and was exceptionally clean and tidy throughout the work so there was very little disruption to the rest of the house. There were multiple problem areas such as large parts of blown plaster, very unstable ceiling, and parts of damp coming through and he was able to offer good solutions and balanced advice. He also gave us useful tips for the rest of house! We would definitely use him again in future.

27 May 2011

Sharon Phillips

Llanmartin, Newport, Wales

Mill Road, Lisvane, Cardiff, CF14 0UG

I don't normally do reviews but I felt I must as it would be a disservice to Sacha. Completely professional but also a lovely guy, we are so happy with plastering it could have been done by a renaissance artist!! All he asks is to have some black coffee to hand which is not too much to ask is it really?!We shall see you soon. Best wishes Vani and Avkash Jain. Mill road Lisvane.

08 August 2017

Philip Aspden

North Llandaff, Cardiff, Wales

"When removing wallpaper in my daughter's bedroom ready for repainting I was horrified to find that two large areas of plaster became loose - such is the danger of using a steam wallpaper stripper too aggressively! Blake Plastering came to the rescue: a fast email response to my enquiry; a prompt visit to assess and provide a (very competitive) quote; a willingness to adjust the diary to complete the job sooner than expected. Sacha was very personable and professional. He clearly knows his job and has been well trained. I had complete confidence in his work and was delighted with the finished product, feeling assured that my home had been respected and the work carried out to a high standard, at an attractive price."

09 July 2013

George Robertson

Oakwood Street, Pontypridd, Wales

I had asked for blown plaster behind a radiator to be replaced and skim the hall, stair well, and bathroom walls. All problems were dealt with very effectively and the quality was second to non. Even came back an extra day to carry out work not originally asked for. When asked to recommend a plasterer, without hesitation Blake Plastering would be my first and only recommendation.

16 July 2014

Richard & Sian Banks

Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan

Sacha Plastered all 3 stories of our hall and landings. It was an old victorian property that was in bad condition. He did an excellent job throughout. He carried out some work that wasn't expected and had pride and enthusiasm in his work. It came in on schedule and was excellent value for money. Sacha is a tidy and conscientious worker who was a pleasure to have around the house.

13 December 2010

S Graham

Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan

Sacha re-plastered my living room last year. The plaster was very uneven in places, and it had blown in some areas. The ceiling needed re-skimming, but because there was distemper underneath the existing skim, there was a possibility of the weight of the new skim causing the plaster to detach. Sacha was very thorough in making me aware of all the possibilities, and I felt confident in his analysis of the potential problems. He was conscientious in his work, very clean and tidy, and was a pleasure to have around. The chimney breast was particularly rough and uneven, and Sacha worked hard to render the surface perfectly smooth. Sacha is a very genuine person, who carries out his work to the highest standards. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

04 February 2015

Mark Wright

Pennant Crescent, Lakeside, Cardiff

Probably one of the cleanest plasterers we have ever had and obviously takes great care in his work. Nice chap to have around the house and not 'cheeky' like so many tradesmen are these days. Seems to take great pride in his work and would recommend him to those looking for a honest and unhurried tradesman.

12 May 2011

Jules Harrison

Pentrebane Sreet, GrangeTown, Cardiff, CF11 7LN

Sacha skimmed my ceiling and did some plastering on the walls, he also fixed my gate at no extra cost which was very nice of him! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, he's friendly, helpful, explains things very clearly and always gives me a very competitive price. Thankyou Sacha.

Sacha was friendly and professional and lovely to work with. He arrived on time, completed the work in a timely fashion, and it looks great.
Even better he provided a concise breakdown of his prices which I appreciated and gave a description of his work as he was doing it.
Will definitely hire him again for other rooms.

13 March 2014

Ruth Dineen

Pontcanna, Cardiff

Would recommend he did a meticulous job, he went through and said exactly what needed to be done because it was not always clear from the start and he kept us informed. He cleaned and tidied up after him. I can recommend.

06 May 2008

A J Lawrence

Pontcanna, Cardiff

Sacha completed work in a number of rooms of our victorian house. This included both ceilings and walls and involved skimming, overboarding and also reboarding a "barrel roll" ceiling. All work was done to a very high standard and on budget. He turned up on time and was very tidy in his work. If you need plastering work done then I would strongly recommend Sacha. Ash

"I needed a bedroom skimming, and Sacha came round to the house to discuss the work required. He had a lot of suggestions for how the work could be done, and explained all the options clearly. He provided a quote soon after, and carried out the work as described to an excellent standard. He was easy to deal with, excellent communication, and very cheerful! Definitely recommended."

The work that was undertaken was the partial plastering of a chimney breast. The work was completed very neatly and the end result is near perfect. I would recommend Blake Plastering.

Sacha was very helpful from the start. He turned up on time, completed the work on time with no hidden costs. Sacha is very friendly, polite and loves his job which shows in the work he does. Thanks to sacha we now have a fab ceiling. We highly recommend Sacha and would be happy to have him complete other work in our home. THANK YOU SACHA. A**.

We have an old house which had many hidden problems - uneven ceilings, wonky walls, many areas of blown plaster and no right angles. Sacha completely plastered two rooms, got rid of all Artex on the ceilings, and dealt with all of the problems leaving a lovely smooth finish. He kept us informed of any issues and how long he expected the job to take. Despite all of the problems, he finished the job on time and to the price agreed. He was conscientious and left the house as well as the rooms in a clean, tidy order. We were very pleased with the job and service and would recommend Blake plastering. Thanks Sacha.

Very good job, and Sacha is by far the cleanest and tidiest practitioner of "the messiest trade" that I've come across! Came in under quote too. Nice one. Pictures posted, though I'm not sure my photography does the job justice.

I was pleased by the level and quality of services provided by Blake Plastering. The initial contact for quotation gave me confidence in the professionalism of the company. During the actual job, which consisted in plastering an artex ceiling and three bedroom walls, the staff showed a respectful and friendly attitude and went out of their way to help me finish the job on time. The end product was delivered up to my satisfaction and for a reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend Blake Plastering to friends and family.

Sach originally quoted on skimming walls and ceiling in two upstairs rooms. After we discovered various structural issues with the house, Sacha ended up doing much more than originally required, with general building and remedial work as well as plastering three complete rooms. He gave us a very fair price for the extra work as well as the original planned work, as well as going beyond the call of duty in helping us arrange third party opinions on our discoveries. In terms of his actual work, his attention to detail is unrivalled, he left the house cleaner than he found it every day and the final finish is pretty much perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Sach to anyone in need of the services he provided for us. Thanks!

"Sacha was happy to do just a couple of small pieces of plastering for us (a removed velux and a damp wall section) and he did them to a very high standard and at a fair rate. A lot of plasterers are only interested in doing big jobs so it is unusual to come across one who will genuinely consider any size of job, and work to a high standard. Will definitely be using him again in future, and will recommend to others."

Plastering over artex on all walls and ceilings to the halls, stairs and landings on 3 floors was exceptionally completed in good time and for a good price. The care taken over the finish as well as leaving the work areas clean and safe was really appreciated as we have small children, and we would certainly recommend Sacha.

Sacha came to overboard and skim a bedroom ceiling. The work was completed to a high standard within the given timescale. Sacha was friendly and we would ask him to do more work in the future.

Excellent work done to boiler surround and walls in our spare room - great value and quality workmanship, we were very pleased with a job well done.

Kitchen and fireplace partially skimmed in readiness for a new kitchen and a smaller fire (following removal of an old Back Burner fire). No doubting the quality of Sacha's work, I had been let down by a previous plasterer and the availability of Sacha to complete the work within a couple of days notice was worth the extra money. Initial pricing was touching £150 higher than the original quote, but Sacha was happy to negotiate both in terms of cost and scope. So the above rating is as per the definitions, the costs were close to as expected, the Service was good, the quality of the finish was outstanding.

Sacha came by recommendation. Sacha indicated clearly the work that would be carried out giving an estimated time frame and cost. He also gave an exact date for commencement of this work. He arrived as scheduled, completed the work ahead of schedule to excellent standard. Plastering walls and ceiling of a large double bedroom. Therefore he delivered on all fronts! Thank you.

Sacha is truly a master of his trade, with the added benefit of being an extremely pleasant guy to have working around the house.
His attention to detail and concern for quality are second to none and I was left with perfectly finished kitchen walls and ceiling and living room doorway. I wont be looking to anyone else for the next bit of plastering that needs doing!

Blake Plastering are a very good plastering business with an eye for detail. The plastering work done in my London property was plaster skimming of: 1 ceiling, and 4 walls to 1 room. 1 of the walls was dry lined (Dot N Dab), the overall quality of the plaster finish to ceiling and walls is exceptional and very good quality. I would recommend Blake Plastering. Thank you for a job well done.

Our bedroom ceiling was very old and in quite a bad condition. After contacting a number of plasterers in Cardiff to view the work we needed, we decided to ask Sacha to do our plastering. He stood out from the other plasterers that visited because he clearly knew what he was talking about and spent time explaining our options. His prices are very reasonable and after finishing the work, which I must say was impressively smooth, left our house very clean. He is very conscientious with his work, has an eye for detail and clearly has a passion for what he does. Thanks Sacha, we'd be happy to recommend you.

Sacha plastered our bedroom and did an exceptional job. He gave us a detailed quote and was more than happy to discuss all aspects of the job. His experience and skill is clear simply from talking to him. Most importantly, the quality of the plastering finish was of a very high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending Sacha.

Sacha skimmed most of our three bedroom semi-detached house following a rewire and installation of new central heating system. This included several artex ceilings. He clearly takes an enormous amount of pride in his work and the results are truly exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sacha.

"If your looking for a plasterer...... employ Sacha!! Sacha has just completed work on our house (March 2012). The work comprised of overboarding 4 ceilings and double plastering to 2 bedrooms and hall,stairs and landing.The finish is perfect, the cost very reasonable, both Sacha and Conrad (his apprentice) keep areas clean and functional. 100% recommendation, I wouldn't hesitate in either asking Sacha to do further work or to pass his number onto a friend. Thank you both."

"I originally asked Sacha to remove artex from a number of ceilings in my new home. However, I was so impressed by his work that I soon had him signed up for many other plastering jobs too. Unsurprisingly, he is booked well-ahead, although he has made every effort to fit me in as soon as possible. His finished work is excellent and he is a joy to work with."

"Sacha Blake is a very professional and skilled craftsman, providing a high quality plastering service. From quoting for the job through to handover at completion, Sacha's experience, knowledge and skills were first-rate, instilling confidence in us as his clients. The quality of the work he delivered was of the same standard and I would happily recommend him as a plasterer to anyone that asked. We will definitely engage him again, as and when we require more work done."

We are more than happy with the result and found that he offered a first class service. He is a very professional and skilled craftsman, and we were happy with the price.
I would definitely recommend.

This was a job on a mediaeval house dating back to 1412 that needed care and expertise, particularly with regard to lime plastering, a time honoured technique which is particularly applicable to old buildings and which English Heritage and The National Trust are now using as standard for their buildings. We were very pleased with the results which fitted the resonance and timbre of the house well. The painting and decorating was after an extension was built and therefore, starting from scratch, needed care and attention to detail, applying natural paints that had no solvents or toxic materials. We were very pleased with the work.
